Mission : Accomplished



















Put that in a bowl and make wacky paste out of it.

I was talking to him with some other Lost fans, and I was like "I know you probably hate to hear this because you were so amazing in the show, but I'm like the biggest Lost fan in Pittsburgh and I've wanted to meet you for like a year." And he's like "No no, I don't hate to hear that, I'm a huge fan of the show still. So do you guys think Juliet is really dead?"

Just confirming

There will be no show tonight - we are taking the week off to recover from the mind blowing finale. We would like suggestions on:

1. Things people would like us to cover over the hiatus - more lostographies and character discussions, reviews and watches of other series (Firefly) and movies (HBP), or whatever you kids can think of

2. Which night we should do the show on. We're sort of up in the air at the moment, and fan input would help us out.

Namaste,
Amanda (and Josh)

PS : Keep the inside joke-off going! We're halfway there!

To Boldy Go...

Hope everyone enjoyed the two shows the past two days. Both over 2 hours I believe!!! Back to our old ways.


I had so much fun talking about Trek with Big-O and Patrick. Wish Amanda could have been there more, but I assume her and I will mention Trek again in the future. :)

Well friends, another season of Lost has ended, and we all are wondering what will happen next. And of course I mean we all are wondering what will happen next in the Lost Flashbacks. I dont think any of us are wondering what will happen next in that ABC show about that hatch in the ground. Yeah right!!

Anyway, the following is a list of things being considered by the LFB, some of them will occur during the current hiatus, some will occur in the future, past Lost, and some may never occur.

1)A rewatch of seasons 4 and 5(I'm almost jumping out of my shoes excited for this after that finale)

2)A "watch" of Firefly. This will be us discussing it as if we are first watching it, so all you that never seen it can now watch it and enjoy it with us

3)A Star Trek watch(this may never occur, although I desperatly want it to)

4)A BSG rewatch(this also may never occur, mainly because GWC did it better than we could ever dream of)

5)Favorite Movie Watch(This will occur once Lost is over, look for it to be a mainstay)

6)A NEW CONTEST(listen for details in upcoming episodes of LFB)



Thank you everyone for making it possible for us to do this show, this also will act as the Offical Lost Season Finale thread. so if you have crazy comments or theories, post them here!

Current theory, the alternate realities in Star Trek and Fringe are the same reality and it's the same as the one created in Lost now. Oh yeah and everyone is a Cylon.

No show tonight!

Sorry guys, I got tickets from work to go see Inigo Montoya (and Patti LuPone) in concert. And then to Quaker Steak and Lube...and then Star Trek. Tonight is going to be awesome =D And of course, Josh is going to the Yankee game. If you have any comments about the episode, feel free to make them here.

Don't forget about the LFB Inside Joke-Off! Let's make it to 100 comments!

Namaste,
Amanda

SERENITY NOW (I'm so punny!)

Hopefully we're not friends on Facebook, or you saw that twice....

Expect Amanda's use of Firefly quotes to skyrocket. Also expect Amanda to ask how people would feel about a Firefly show as an off-season distraction, even though it was Josh's idea.

Shiny.

Meanwhile, back at our other fandoms....

OOOH, fun idea - color coding!!!

So Lost is on tonight. But before we get all into that, lets take a look at some of the other shows on TV that we should be caring about. Because there are people out there who want us to. And by us (for now), I mean Amanda.

Lets be serious - the judges need to be nicer to Steve Wozniak.

Okay, that was the opposite of serious. Its just funny because I know someone named Steve Wozniak (how did I not know that it was such a common name?). Also because I'm very witty.

Lets go backwards to Monday's episode of Heroes, which I watched approximately three hours ago (because it took two hours for the frakking thing to load...NBC's streaming player SUCKS). Much like the judges on Dancing with the Stars with The Woz, we have been hard on Heroes lately. While this was probably deserved, I think the most recent episode has put me in my place a bit. I found myself genuinely caring about the episode and (most of) the characters, and genuinely surprised by some of the things that they threw at me.

****THAR BE HEROES SPOILERS BELOW THIS LINE****

Micah is rebel. I am probably the only person who had not figured that out yet (I forgot about him!), so I thought it was surprising, logical, and generally done well. I liked seeing NGC and Ali Larter in scenes where she wasn't his insane mother.

Speaking of Ali Larter, TWO annoying blondes bit it in this episode! YAY! I didn't hate Tracy, but I was never a fan of their perpetuating Ali Larter's character by giving her FOUR (so far) characters to play. Three down. Aaaaand, my favorite character and the most talented performer on the show Gwen Stefani (that cracked me up) also did not survive the episode. It was what I will call a "reverse Dallas," which I have no complaints about.

Two men and a baby were probably my favorite part of the episode. I felt very bipolar during those scenes, because I was cracking up one second and tearing up the next. It was cool seeing Ando finally use his power as a death ray, rather than just a super charger for other people. I'm still waiting for that part where he and Hiro are enemies. Unless they already wrote themselves out of it and I missed it.

As Josh previously stated to me, Mohinder is officially the dumbest character on the show. Peter used to be in the running, but I thought the part where he whisked mommie dearest up the elevator shaft was pretty cool - not to mention unexpected.

Speaking of Angela Petrelli (sort of), YAY Lockemom! Now both of the crazy/awesome aunts from Pushing Daisies (;.;) have been on this show!

****THAR BE NO ONE WHO CARES ABOUT HEROES BELOW THIS LINE****
***Also MAJOR BSG SPOILERS!!!***

In much more important and rewarding news, the series finale of Battlestar Galactica was on Friday. I was at a friend's house who had a TV which got the SciFi channel, but who would have rather had a root canal than watch BSG. So every time The Princess Bride went to commercial, I pulled up the guide, just happened to stop on SciFi, and watched the tiny, silent, windowed version with bated breath. Then she TiVoed it for me, and I woke up nice and early at 12:30 to watch it.

I was really really pleased. There were a few things that I felt were cop-outs, but in no way do I feel that it "sucked ass." My top ten favorite moments were:

1. Everything after "150,000 years later," especially me realizing that I recognized RDM (I'm a REAL fan!)
2. "You can see them too!?!"
3. Is Cheif Tyrol gonna have to choke a bitch? (Yes)
4. The opera house scenes - CHILLS!
5. Starbuck realizing that the notes in the song were jump coordinates to NuEarth, Looking Glass style!
6. Lee charging into the colony with an army of centurions - now with racing stripes!
7. Admiral.Hoshi. (And president Romo Lampkin!)
8. Roslin's goodbye to Doc Cottle! So funny, so sad!
9. The flashbacks, particularly the first one (the Tigh's and Adama) and the last one (Baltar and Six, talking about the defense mainframe).
10. Caprica and Baltar's happy ending (did NOT expect that!), Adama and Roslin's bittersweet one, and Tyrol's "frak all y'all, I'ma go be the UK!"

I was a little bummed that Starbuck didn't have some deeper purpose, although I suppose it was kind of cool. She just...wasn't that important =\ At first, I was disappointed about Helo not bleeding out like Athena said he would, and then I watched Dollhouse. And then I heard that they were going to kill him, but Tahmoh Penniket didn't like that...and I was disappointed again.

But I still love Paul Ballard. Seriously, watch Dollhouse, and then talk to me about it. Because I'm in love with it. And Paul Ballard.
